Beyond the Seal is the story of a group of small farmers - and the activists and visionaries behind them - striving to change the banana industry as we know it. Through a model of business called Fair Trade, these producers are building a more just supply chain, one that prioritizes their health, their families and their community.

The Equal Exchange banana team met innovative filmmakers Leah Varjacques and Katherine Nagasawa when they approached us while making their web documentary about the banana business. The documentary is an independent project, but now that it's complete, the filmmakers are teaming up with Equal Exchange to get the word out about the banana industry and the difference Fair Trade bananas make.
